The basic facts of a case.

This is a book about Jessica McCord, a woman who aided in murdering her ex-husband out of revenge. The author does a good job telling the story without embellishing it just to make it more interesting. If you're looking for a read that has the bare facts, this is for you.

Try another author's book (Phelps).

Too many typos and poor sentence structure. Too many quotes from another author's book on this same topic. Try the other book instead--I plan to.

Quick and to the point! Doesn't go into a lot of detail, but one gets the gist of it.

Why bother?

Who writes a 15 page book? That's 10 minutes I'll never get back. It's more like an outline. Of course, I'm the fool who bothered to finish it!
